Stir Fry & Salad- Prepped

Hi Everyone!

First things first, check out my interview at the Health Blog Helper blog. I want to send a big thank you to Alison for conducting this interview!

Did you have a good day? I did! It was my first day of my adjusted work schedule (abbreviated days Monday and Friday) and I can already tell how much I’m going to love it. I got up early to finish packing Josh’s lunch and to clean the house. Next, I got to work and then took a mid day break to run a few errands. I finished up with work and took Frank for a walk, prepped our dinners, and then headed out to teach Body Step.

For dinner tonight, Josh is having turkey stir fry with asparagus, water chestnuts, cashews and stir fry sauce topped with regular and black sesame seeds:

I will be having a huge salad with mixed greens, red pepper, steamed asparagus, walnuts, and tomatoes. Later, I plan to top this with olive oil and lemon juice, a little mozzarella cheese, and serve with a hunk of bread and a chopped apple:

I love prepping our dinners! Do you prep ahead of time??

I cannot believe it is November! My Body Pump training is this upcoming weekend and I am excited and nervous! What are you looking forward to this week??Note: I seem to be having major blog issues so I had to delete my last few posts. I apologize for the craziness and hope to have it figured out soon

i can't believe its November either, but that just means that Thanksgiving and Christmas are right around the corner! That salad for dinner looks awesome, what kind of dressing do you normally like on your salads?? are you an oil and vinegar type of girl, or do you like some sort of bottled dressings?

this week i'm looking forward to going out of town for the weekend and getting to the other hawkwatch that i work for! and i get to hopefully stay at a super ritzy hotel because a friend has a friend working there..hehehe!

You are such a prepper i love it!! :D ha I never know what I want until i storm in the door and raid the fridge, so I never prep! I love leftovers though so I don't make making a lot one night and then eating it the next night, orrrr going out to dinner is always a great option ;D Cute interview, totally agree on the blog envy tips. Good luck this week!

I can't wait to check out the interview. That is so awesome that you are featured! :)

I couldn't think of a better person for this. :)

I do love prepping dinners. It's so nice to be able to come home and not worry about making a huge mess in the kitchen. I like a little cooking therapy to end my day, but not an overly stressful cooking experience. You know?

I don't prep ahead of time near as much as I should. I tend to eat what I am craving. So, I can't really prep ahead for that. I do freeze pumpkin puree. Occasionally, Mallard or I will make Snuffy some Annie's Mac with Veggies and Chick'n mixed in and freeze it in case of a hectic night.

I try to prep dinners especially if I know that I have a class to teach/attend at the gym that night. I'm usually starving when I get home, and it is nice when everything is ready to go into a pan! Great interview!! Any pointers on teaching fitness classes? I'm just starting this week to teach spin, and I'm kinda scared! :)

That abbreviated schedule sounds great. I love any work schedule that is a bit different than the standard. That's why I love working from home I guess.

Catching up on your blog and I love all the recipes. Congrats on all your running! I haven't been for 2 wks and I'm a bit worried what my distance will be when I'm back at it.

Saw your travel question and I still highly suggest Jamaica. It is so easy to get to for us east coasters. We stay at Sandals, but I've heard Couples is great too. It is always our fave vacation of the year. Sun, good food, drink and pure relaxation.

Sorry about your blog issues! Glad you are enjoying your new work schedule, luck you! My dad is visiting from IL this week. We are having fun. My nephew has to have surgery tomorrow though so that is a downer:( Poor little guy. Have a good day and good luck with your training!

Forgetting to defrost the meat isn't silly at all--since you don't eat it, it's not the forefront of your mind! That's like me buying Ben cokes at the store--I don't drink cokes, so unless I write it down, I forget!
